I have been an educated dental technician since 1974. I have personally restored more than 10,000 implant sites since 1986, I am into it...

I opened my lab in 1977. Crown and Bridge and Ceramics, but am comfortable doing dentures and not scared of any of it. I have watched dental technicians grow professionally and become greater than or equal to our clients. I'm almost done here, but not with a bad attitude. Everythings paid for... I believe that going chairside, helping and advising Dentists who were restoring Implant cases has been the single most career advancing thing I could have done. It helped me become comfortable chairside with the Dentist and Patients from all walks of life. I want to use my years of experience to help other techs with Implant cases and also be an expert witness to the dental laboratory industry.

The number of laboratories declined 12.5%, from approximately 12,000 to 10,500. The number of GPs and prosthodontists increased 17%, from 133,623 to 156,011. This means the ratio of dentists to labs increased from 11:1 to 15:1.
